Show Notes

Tiernan Ray has published articles in every major tech and business publication over his 25-year career. This week, he joined Dan Turchin on the podcast to discuss what it means to practice responsible journalism at a time when audiences and advertisers are fickle and we're contending with a pandemic, social unrest, political turmoil, and backlash against social media for promoting hate.

Listen and learn...

  • Why journalistic integrity matters even as fact-checking departments at organizations like Barron's are being eliminated.
  • How the pandemic has created opportunities to tell stories about scientific topics that weren't previously exposed to mainstream audiences.
  • Why it's important for writers to not allow their social media brands to influence their presentation of facts.
  • How leaders like former Cisco CEO John Chambers, Applied Materials CEO Gary Dickerson, and Five9 CEO Rowan Trollope are managing company culture as "serendipitous moments for collaboration" go away.
